She read
I enjoy Sue Grafton’s alphabet series and am sad that Y is the penultimate. Kinsey Milhone is a delightful character. Grafton places her in the late 1980s which means she doesn’t have a smart phone nor the advantage of advanced technology. She still relies on index card notes to keep track of her cases. She is surrounded by a repeating cast of supporting characters and it is always enjoyable to revisit them.
This book, which seems to be a bit longer than some of the prior ones, involves two cases. The first is a situation of black mail that refers back to incidents that occurred ten years ago. Kinsey must unravel what really happened then as well as figure out what is going on in the present. The second case is a carry over from the X novel and involves a dangerous madman on the loose who has already tried once to kill Kinsey.
Grafton is a good writer and although the book did seem to drag a bit, I enjoyed it.
